Whole blood smears from known diploid and triploid Grass Carp
Whole blood smears from known diploid (A, C, E) and triploid (B, D, F) Grass Carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) were stained with Diff Quik and imaged with a cell phone attached to a field microscope (A and B) or an Olympus microscope connected to a digital camera (C-F). Polystyrene standard beads can be noted. Total magnification was 600x with the

Elevation Gain | Wetland Loss
Stylized animation showing the shoreline of a wetland that is eroded by waves or currents eating away the sediment along the edge of the wetland. The displaced sediment is then deposited back onto the wetland platform by other waves. When this process happens continually, layers of displaced sediment build up over time, raising the surface of the wetland.

Outstanding in the Field Episode 7 - Science in the Swamp
In this episode of Outstanding in the Field, we take you to the swamps and coastal wetlands of Louisiana, the land of bayous and beignets and a state with one of the most dynamic coastlines in the United States. The wetlands that make up the Louisiana coast are vast and help protect important cultural and natural resources.
